I would like to use kst101_pythonnet.py.
When I use that in jupyter, it show an error as below.
AttributeError: module 'clr' has no attribute 'AddReference'.

Im using KST101 and ZST213.

I am using a BSC201 with an HDR50/M and want to set the velocity based on degrees per second rather than based on motor percentage. I tried using channel.SetVelocityParams_DeviceUnits() but I got an error that no attribute exist. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Camron,

Thank you for reaching out! This has been tracked as Issue #42 on the Motion_Control_Examples repository. We will be in contact soon with some additional information.

Hi, i am using Kinesis software and pythonnet to controll LTS150/M and LTS300/M devices. Everything works just fine but I am not able to find the correct way of changing the motor speed during its movement.
For exmaple:

I am able to perform two movements at the desired velocities with a stop in between (i tried with both: Device.MoveTo() and Device.MoveContinouos() and it works as expected)

I do not know how to perform correctly such a movement without this intermediate stop. I tried something like:

V1, V2 = 2, 3
velPars = Device.GetVelocityParams()
velPars.MaxVelocity = Decimal(V1)
Device.SetVelocityParams(velPars)
Device.MoveContinuous(MotorDirection.Forward)

time.sleep(2)

velPars = Device.GetVelocityParams()
velPars.MaxVelocity = Decimal(V2)
Device.SetVelocityParams(velPars)
Device.MoveContinuous(MotorDirection.Forward)

time.sleep(2)
Device.StopImmediate()

Unfortunately, the result is quite chaotic. One of my LTS perform this movement with the expected speed change but the second one is not changing its speed. What is the correct way of implementing such a movement?

Best Regards,

Rafał

I'm trying the C# example for the BBD301 to get/set TriggerOut and TriggerIn settings. I actually have a BBD201 which doesn't have the same access to the triggers via C#. It would be really helpful if I could get a snippet that shows how to set the triggering in either C# or Python.
